Rodgers' injury: Shoulder bruise
The initial diagnosis of Aaron Rodgers' injury is a bruised throwing shoulder, coach Mike McCarthy said after today's game.

The Packers' starting quarterback no doubt will be examined further upon the team's return to Green Bay this evening.

Rodgers missed one series in the second half, a three-and-out after which Tampa Bay drove for the winning field goal. He finished 14-for-27 for 165 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

McCarthy did not immediately provide additional information on the other players who left today's game, including safeties Nick Collins and Aaron Rouse and defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins.

UPDATE: Rodgers said he thinks the shoulder is separated but isn't sure. Again, tests will occur tonight or Monday morning.

Great.....just great.
Oh well......looks like this season will end up being a waste. Too many injuries already.......oh well.

---

Lets hope it is a short term injury. It really got scary out there with Flynn directing the game.

---

It's obvious Flynn isn't ready to go against Green Bay West High school.

We had NO running game, our great WR's coupdn't seem to get open........yet the other team runs great, WR's get open.
What the hell is up with that???

---

Even if the WR got open, Rodgers didn't have time to get them the ball.

---

To me it seemed he tried to stay in the pocket too long too.

---

We had good news with Harris' injury not being season ending, maybe we'll get a good prognosis on Rodgers. For all the talk about how confident they were in their QBs coming into the season, they sure didn't look confident having Flynn back there.

---

Hopefully it's not too bad. I don't see how it could be, considering that he threw a really good TD pass after the injury and he eventually came back into the game.

Flynn was scary. His first pass was wormburner and he later threw a really bad one that was intended for Driver over the middle and was way behind him.

hey now give flynn some time after all thats what everyone was saying about Rodgers. I had to leave so i didnt get to see the rest of the game until just now ( gotta love the dvr) and it appears Rodgers hurt his shoulder when he scrambled.
Well i guess we won't see Ted Thompson prancing around anytime soon, maybe he better pick up the phone and call Dante and beg and plead.

Oh and im getting tired of people blaming the o-line remember its the same line as last year. I blame alot on the play calling.
